Why do you wear colored contacts if those are not your real eyes?

Re: Contacts not looking “real”

Colored contacts can flatter a person but still not look “real”. And I’m not sure why that’s a bad thing. When women were red or most other colors of lipstick…does that look “real”? When we wear nail polish, eye shadows, eyeliner, blush etc…no matter how flattering the color is…does any of it look “real”? Yet I don’t recall hearing comments in other threads about make-up being bad is b/c it doesn’t look “real”. So why is it a bad thing if you can tell if colored eyes aren’t “real”?

Because nail polish doesn’t make you look like a demon. Look at Nadia Hussain’s picture that I posted above, she looks possessed. Here’s another one, for your viewing pleasure. =D Makeup disasters can happen with eyeshadows, lipsticks, eyeliner, eye lashes, foundation etc too. Bridal eye lashes are never going to look real but they look beautiful when done right. Now if you started wearing fake lashes like Chloe Victoria (google her), then we have a problem. Full, heavy face makeup is also never going to look like your real skin but it looks pretty unless you decided to make yourself 10 shades lighter. So it’s not about making sure no one can tell that you’re wearing contacts/makeup, but about getting it right.
